The L.A Times reported that Barack Obama, is still trying to quiet the uproar over his recent remarks about "bitter" Americans in small towns, struck back at his rivals Monday by saying that voters were tired of politicians who fanned "fake controversies" for their own advantage.
Hillary Clinton and John McCain are trying to keep Obama’s comments in the spotlight.
Clinton released her first television ad featuring Clinton supporters expressing their dismay over Obama's statements at a San Francisco fundraising event.
John McCain, continues to call Obama's remarks "elitist,” in Washington Obama also appeared at the meeting for the Associated Press in Washington, and he acknowledged that he had made "poor word choices" when he said some Americans were "bitter" over years of economic setbacks and, as a result "they cling to guns or religion" along with anti-immigrant and anti-trade sentiments. At a Democratic party dinner Monday at a union hall in Philadelphia, Obama tried to blend his controversial San Francisco comments with his longtime campaign message about the need for political change. Clinton followed Obama to the podium and was booed as she began her remarks by criticizing Obama's comments.
